Head North

I feel this is all too heavy for us
Right now I want to pack our bags and move to Mexico
Get the hell out of here
And who knows? Who really knows?
It's best for us that we stay
Than be the clever kids we hate
An island in the canyon state
Are you the wall or the wave?
Maybe the warmth was not what you wanted
Let's head north, find a spot and live in Ontario
Get the hell out of here
And I'm scared, I'm pretty fucking scared
I cannot believe this has happened again
We buckle at the seams we spit into the wind

Deep Red

You take the wheel, I'll navigate
Due north and cross the deep red golden gate
And through the fields, across the hills
An empty tank awaits
A dollar left to keep it filled
I see the darkness in the mirror
A highway 5 lights the sky
I see our future getting clearer
A northwest drive to be alive
I wish you were here to sing another song to me
You made me who I am, nevermind
What else can I be?
All apologies
Once upon a time, I could lose myself
Come and take my hand, outshined again
I don't know anything, river or deceit

Aching Waits

Dart my eyes around the room again, for nearest exits
Brain jumping out of my skin
Calibrate the difference between
Only bad outcomes
Heart a mess of flailing limbs
And on nights like this
The bright lights hit just like fists
And I'm unwound again
I feel all impulses fall out of my control
Shaking like leaves
There's dignity in shame
Knowing demons by their name
These desperate games
Our Horizons are never far away, and aching waits
Restless sleep a next of kin
Calculate the distance between all the nows and thens
Still a quiet nervous kid

Breathing Like A Holdup

Head like a setting sun
Guts as empty as my lungs
Nailed my heart above the door
It's not blood its wine
I'm drinking every night again
Ignore the rot I'm sinking in
Hands up my son, I'm living like a loaded gun
Sweaty palms and shaky hands
It's like this every night
Its all the words I can't get right
Loop repeating on and on
Sing me to sleep
Something beautiful and mean
Sing me to sleep
You're right, my love is incomplete and difficult
Distant whisper, artful dodge
It's like this every time
Apologies I'll never write
Loop repeating on and on
I'm sinking like a stone
I'm sinking like a stone again
In the morning, when I wake up
I'll be here, a shell in my own skin
